Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Leroy Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Elroy Kleinschmidt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kleinschmidt is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Pezet - Slang 2. Brown is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. Leroy Brown looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
